Re: Questions on charset encoding detection and keyboard layout

[Hou, Ruoyu]

Dear Zaretskii,

I tried the tip you gave me, but now I've got my GBK-encoded files 
unreadable. How you would solve the problem?

Moreover, as I mentioned in the previous post, how could I set a 
prefer-coding-system without beforehand knowledge about the encoding I 
am supposed to encounter?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
